1985 • GERALD M. KRAMER and MYRON NEVINS • KRAMER-NEVINS PERIOSTEAL
The Kramer-Nevins periodontal surgical kit was created in 1967 and is still popular today. In the 1980’s, the surgical knives included in the kit were manufactured with a carbon surgical steel that had been introduced by Hu-Friedy. Hu-Friedy also took the lead on the manufacturing and sales of Kramer-Nevins instruments. The Periosteal Retractor has many advantages during surgical procedures due to its size and design. It allows for the
delicate separation of thin gingival biotype over bone exostosis without perforations. It can be applied immediately after initial incisions when a full thickness flap is planned. The retractor is also effective in separating the Schneiderian membrane from the floor of the maxillary sinus during a sinus lift procedure. This instrument can also be used by the dental assistant to consolidate grafting material to place into a bone defect. The grafting material can then be mixed with patient blood, sterile water or growth factors when available. A second elevator is used to reflect the surgical flap and gain visibility. This then allows for the carrying of grafting material to the defect or the sinus with the periosteal retractor.
